Standon Bridge railway station was a railway station in Standon, approximately 4 miles west of Stone, Staffordshire. The station closed on 4 February 1952, the same day as Whitmore railway station 4 miles further north.
The station is close to Mill Meece Pumping Station, an early 20th-century preserved steam-powered water pumping station built by Staffordshire Potteries Waterworks Company. During installation of a second steam engine in 1926-7, parts were delivered to Standon Bridge railway station and transferred by horse and cart to the pumping station.
The station is also near to Swynnerton Army training camp, a large former Royal Ordnance Factory.
